Welcome to the USC Benefits website
We have a new look
You'll find everything you need here to select, access and fully utilize your USC benefits. At left, you can watch a brief video introduction to the various types of benefits available.
USC has a new long term care insurance program, and you can enroll online.
Getting Started
Everything you need to know to enroll in USC benefits, including all about orientation, how to keep your benefits intact as you move from one job to another, things you need to consider before declining benefits, and how to use eTrac, our employee self-serve system that allows you to manage your benefits, check payroll information, and update personal information 24/7.
New employees are required to attend two orientation sessions, and everything you need to know about that is here.
Changing Your Benefits
Our helpful guide shows you what to do if you get married, or have a baby, or experience any other life event that may affect your benefits. If you haven't had any such status change, you can change your benefits during our annual open enrollment period, usually in November.
Vendor Directory
We've gathered all the contact information for all our benefits providers here in one easy-to-use directory.
Forms and Publications
Helpful benefits resources include forms you may need, summary plan descriptions of our programs, and print-your-own booklets.
Medical
All your health care options…
Our medical webpage outlines all our PPOs, HMOs, vision plans, dental plans, long term care, cancer expense protection, disability—we even have a plan if you already have a medical plan.
Retirement
Planning for the future…
USC's generous retirement plan, your vendor choices, important information for retirees and pre-retirees, an introduction to USC's Emeriti Center, and an abundance of planning resources are available on our retirement webpage.

Most benefits relate to finances, of course, but USC offers a wide variety of benefits designed to improve your bottom line, including flexible spending accounts, campus-based banking options, life insurance, accidental death and dismemberment insurance, and other insurance products.
Education
Tuition assistance…
Working at a world-class private research university should mean outstanding educational benefits—and at USC, it does.
Quality of Life
Enriching and balancing...
USC's mission involves the development of the whole person through the cultivation and enrichment of the human mind and spirit, and we offer a whole host of benefits to enrich not only your work life but your personal and family life, as well—including USC's groundbreaking Center for Work and Family Life, quality child care centers, and unique opportunities involving university communities and housing.
